Leadsled, Dick seems to listen to your advice. Convince him to take up this argument with the government..Parking space is far more important than airspace changes. GA needs room to do business. GA needs to be treated the same as any mode of transport. Convince Dick, aprons and runways are PUBLIC ROADS. AND not just any public road but a National Highway.
The Feds didn't think this through. It was one thing to sell off the leases, it was another to give control over the movement areas of those leases. Ask the local council how hard it would be to close one of the streets on the public side of the fence because you want to build a shopping mall.
Dick could actually win this! I would rather remember him for saving the aerodromes rather than the huge mess he is creating in airspace reform.
Cummon Dick, howaboutit
